P0, page everybody. But their incident response planning and training is on point so there’s one incident commander and everyone doing individual tasks reports to them. I suspect not more than a dozen cooks are in the kitchen as it were. Any more and people would be getting in each other’s way. I seem to recall that ads runs on one of the largest distributed MySQL instances on the planet. That’s probably the most complicated component at play here. Then again everything has to have active, secondary and tertiary so maybe it’s something upstream like dns dos protection or cdn. Not a Google employee, just guessing.
